Tinder is facing a $60.5 million class action settlement stemming from a lawsuit filed in 2015 in California. The lawsuit claimed that Tinder charged users aged 29 and older higher monthly fees for its Tinder Plus service compared to younger users, which is against California law. Although Tinder agreed to the settlement in December 2025, the company maintains that it did not violate any laws or cause harm. Users who purchased Tinder Plus or Tinder Gold in California after March 2, 2015, while over age 29, or after March 2, 2016, while over age 28, may qualify for a payout. The settlement is awaiting judicial approval, with a hearing scheduled for May 20 and a deadline for claims by August 18. The final payout amount will depend on the number of valid claims submitted, and payments may be processed through platforms like PayPal, Venmo, or Zelle.
